Abstract
NORWEGIAN enterprise has led to the fitting-out of a steamer, renamed the Antarctic, for a whaling voyage to the Antarctic Sea south of New Zealand, where Ross attained his highest south latitude in 1842. The Antarctic has already sailed, but will touch at an Australian port to complete preparations. It is understood that those on board will endeavour to make as complete meteorological observations as possible throughout the voyage.
